Key Takeaways:

  • Rituals are how societies (and organizations) come together. They create connection and reinforce company values through repeated, meaningful actions.
  • The difference between rituals and traditions: Traditions are broad customs; rituals are the specific actions taken to reinforce them.
  • Rituals help remote teams stay connected. In a virtual world, structured moments of engagement are key to fostering belonging.
  • Recognition should spotlight both givers and receivers. Those who take the time to uplift others should be celebrated too.
  • Leaders should involve their teams in creating rituals. When employees co-create rituals, they are more meaningful and sustainable.
